“The European Council, recalling the declaration of the Twelve of 6 June, strongly condemns
the brutal repression taking place in China. It expresses its dismay at the pursuit of executions in spite
of all the appeals of the international community. It solemnly requests the Chinese authorities to stop
the executions and to put an end to the repressive actions against those who legitimately claim their
democratic rights.
The European Council requests the Chinese authorities to respect human rights and to take into account
the hopes for freedom and democracy deeply felt by the population. It underlines that this is an
essential element for the pursuit of the policy of reforms and openness that has been supported by the
European Community and its Member States. (…)
In the present circumstances, the European Council thinks it necessary to adopt the following
measures:
- raising the issue of human rights in China in the appropriate international fora; asking for the
admittance of independent observers to attend the trials and to visit the prisons;
- interruption by the Member States of the Community of military cooperation and an embargo on trade
in arms with China;
- suspension of bilateral ministerial and high-level contacts;
- postponement by the Community and its Member States of new cooperation projects;
- reduction of programmes of cultural, scientific and technical cooperation to only those activities that
might maintain a meaning in the present circumstances;
- prolongation by the Member States of visas to the Chinese students who wish it.
Taking into account the climate of uncertainty created in the economic field by the present policy of the
Chinese authorities, the European Council advocates the postponement of the examination of new
requests for credit insurance and the postponement of the examination of new credits of the World
Bank.”
